Dean's Lectures Series - Heal the World
Auburn's dean's lectures are rooted in a long tradition of hosting religious, faith, cultural, and intellectual leaders going back several decades. The conversations are meant to inspire and connect leaders to issues of healing and repair. From healing in the aftermath of the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda to healing in the aftermath of Indian Boarding Schools in the US and Canada, Auburn has sought peacemakers and storytellers who are focused on healing and reconciliation that are closest to these issues.
Auburn is proud to have Julian Brave NoiseCat to talk with leaders about his approach to healing. Most recently, his work 
Sugarcane, 
directed alongside Emily Kassie, follows the abuse and missing children at the Indian residential school NoiseCat's family were sent to in British Columbia.
NoiseCat's first book, 
We Survived the Night 
(Penguin Random House Canada), will be out October 2025. The event will also feature
We look foward to welcoming you to Auburn's Dean's lectures.
About Julian Brave NoiseCat
Julian Brave NoiseCat 
is a writer, Oscar-nominated filmmaker, champion powwow dancer and student of Salish art and history.
His first documentary, 
Sugarcane
,
 
directed alongside Emily Kassie, follows an investigation into abuse and missing children at the Indian residential school NoiseCat’s family was sent to near Williams Lake, British Columbia. (But it’s really a reverse Western buddy stoner roadtrip tragicomedy.) 
Sugarcane
 premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival where NoiseCat and Kassie won the Directing Award in the U.S. Documentary Competition. The film was recognized with dozens of awards including Best Documentary from the National Board of Review and was nominated for an Academy Award. 
Sugarcane
 screened at film festivals around the world and in theaters across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. The film is distributed by National Geographic and can be streamed on Hulu and in over 150 markets on Disney+.
NoiseCat’s first book, 
We Survived the Night
, will be published by Alfred A. Knopf on October 21, 2025 as well as by Penguin Random House Canada, Profile Books in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth, Albin Michel in France and Aufbau Verlag in Germany.
NoiseCat’s journalism has appeared in dozens of publications including 
The New York Times
, 
The Washington Post
 and 
The New Yorker
 and has been recognized with many awards including the 2022 American Mosaic Journalism Prize, which honors "excellence in long-form, narrative or deep reporting on stories about underrepresented and/or misrepresented groups in the present American landscape." In 2021, NoiseCat was named to the TIME100 Next list of emerging leaders alongside the starting point guard of his fantasy basketball team, Luka Doncic.
Before turning full-time to writing and filmmaking, NoiseCat was a political strategist, policy analyst and cultural organizer. In 2019, he helped lead a grassroots effort to bring an 
Indigenous canoe journey
 to San Francisco Bay to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 
1969 Alcatraz Occupation
. Eighteen canoes representing communities from as far north as Canada and as far west as Hawaii participated in the journey, which was covered by dozens of local and national media outlets, including 
The New York Times
. In 2020, he was the first to publicly suggest that Deb Haaland should be appointed Interior Secretary. Working with leaders from Indian Country as well as the progressive and environmental movements, NoiseCat helped turn the idea into a sophisticated inside-outside campaign that drew support from celebrities, activists and even a few conservative politicians. When Haaland was sworn in she became the first Native American cabinet secretary in United States history.
Raised in a single-mother household in Oakland, California, Julian is a proud member of the Canim Lake Band Tsq'escen and a descendant of the Lil'Wat Nation of Mount Currie. He has played hockey for three of the oldest teams in the game: Columbia University, the Oxford University Blues and the Alkali Lake Braves. A champion traditional dancer, his powwow prize winnings include a horse.
